1) What does the design of horizontal circulation determine?
The design of Horizontal circulation frequently determines the basic shapes and character of an entire structure.
2) What are the four practical requirements of any horizontal circulation system mentioned in the lecture?
The first practical requirements of any circulation system is that it be adequate in size
The second requirement in circulation design is that of directness. A good circulation plan should work well in either direction.
The third requirement in circulation design is that points of convergention traffic must be expressed. This is very important in the design of facilities for rapid exits
The fourth requirement for circulation design is that changes in level must be clearly expressed.
3) What are the three examples (names of buildings) mentioned by Prof. Watanabe to illustrate different horizontal circulation patterns?
